Herbie stopped competing with Michael in 2005 when he was diagnosed with severe Lymes disease. In 2010, we brought him back into work as he was seemingly recovered from all the physical and mental effects following the disease. In November, 2010, Herbie competed in his first horse trial in 5 years at Training level with Lisa. He is now competing regularly with Lisa and has been successful in his return to the eventing scene. Herbie also has been competitive at USDF shows, winning twice at Third Level and helping Lisa earn her USDF Bronze Medal in August, 2011.
